ANGRZCUM.—Supra, vol. 18. fol. 1522. 
A. distichum ; caule imbricato, foliis distichis compressis recurvis obtusis supra 
canaliculatis, floribus solitariis axillaribus pedunculis foliis subeegualibus, 
sepalis ovatis petalisque angustioribus secundis obtusis, labello postico ob- 
longo concavo apice tridentato calcare tereti horizontali pedunculo breviore. 
Caules 3-4 pollices longi, atrovirides, foliis densissimě imbricati. Flores 
parvi, lactei, carnosi, inodori. Labelli dentes laterales rotundati intermedio 
recto acuto. 
A remarkably’neat and pretty looking species, on 
account of its small closely packed deep bright green leaves 
and tufted stems, but having no beauty of a striking nature 
in its flowers. | 
It is a native of Sierra Leone, where it is found on the 
bark of trees. Imported by Messrs. Loddiges, in whose 
Nursery our drawing was made in October last. It appears 
to grow freely in the damp hot atmosphere which so many 
similar plants delight in.
